Excalibur: The Legend of King Arthur cover

In this gripping tale – of love and deceit, forgiveness and hope – the secrets of King Arthur's past and the mysteries of his future all come together in a visually striking portrait of the heroic legend. Albion is at war. Ruled by the murderous King Ulric for too long, its people are desperate for justice. Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, is their last hope. Now come of age, Arthur can fulfil a longstanding prophecy. And by freeing the enchanted Caliburn from its sheath on Stone Hill, finally the land will have its true king. But Arthur's future is uncertain. Not only does his half-sister Morgana have a vengeful score to settle; those whom he trusts most are also destined to betray him.

Visually striking portrait of the heroic legend. Brilliantly retold by author Tony Lee and imaginatively captured by illustrator Sam Hart, this is not to be missed! * Wordsmith *
"Hart captures it all with intense, shadow- and light-filled artwork, bringing an exciting, gritty visualisation to the book's balance of gruff romance, and loads of sword-swinging action. * Booklist *
